Facts of the Case

Background

The applicant sought reinstatement of an appeal that had been struck off the roll for late filing of heads of argument. The appeal related to a determination that the applicant had been underpaid by USD$450 rather than the claimed USD$1,905. The applicant blamed her legal practitioner's junior counsel for the late filing, but provided no affidavit from the responsible attorney.
